Rewired our 31 Ft Uniflite over a two year period, had to redo some 34
years of make-shift wiring. I used stranded AWG wire for the 12 VDC and
tinned wire for the 120 VAC systems. Used the tinned wire for the 120 VAC
because it came in a three wire sheath much like normal household wire 14/2
and met the Transport Canada requirements here in Canada.
My recommendation would be to take the wire back to a convenient spot for a
small terminal strip and rewire form there using stranded wire, or go back
to the source and rewire from there. Two reasons for stranded wire; it
takes the crimp connectors and it is easier to route to wherever you are
going.
I'm certain if you ask whether to use tinnned or non-tinned (automotive
wire) you'll get quite the debate going. Personnally, the automotive wire
providing it is AWG based, not SAE, is more than acceptable. AWG wire has
a higher current rating. The one real advantage to tinned wire is that it
is extremely flexible, much more so than the non-tinned variety. Tinned
wire is also two to three times as expensive.
Best of luck.
